KWEPACK RUNNERS
The KwePack runners are a fixture in the regional trail running community. We are humbled by being known locally as “the face of native running.” The KwePack (Kwe means “woman” in Anishinaabe) is a running group for Indigenous women in the Duluth region. The pack consists of over 25 indigenous women runners - mothers, community leaders, role models – who
Over ten different reservations.

The KwePack participates together in road and trail racing events from 5K's to 50 mile ultramarathons. The KwePack strives to create healthy communities to make healthy living the new normal. Media attention from local and tribal newspapers, Native Report, and the nationally known magazine “Runner’s World” has given rise to the life of our mission, healthy and active living in our communities while putting women at the front of leadership for their families and communities.
